Haider Ackermann's single-breasted jacket is tailored to exacting standards from tonal-black and brown wool and alpaca-blend tweed. It's cut with strong shoulders to accentuate the narrow darted waist and is best balanced by streamlined skirts and trousers.

'A handsome woman' was how Haider Ackermann described the elegant androgynous muse of his SS14 collection. The Essex jacket cut from smooth bronze grosgrain silk embodies this aesthetic beautifully. Team with cigarette trousers and single-strap heels for a modern take on tuxedo dressing.
